The information to be collected will be used by USCIS to determine eligibility of discretionary deferred action for either military deferred action or non-military deferred action (other than deferred action based on DACA, Violence Against Women Act, A-3, G-5, and T and V nonimmigrant visas). For military deferred action, spouses, parents, sons, and daughters of individuals serving on active duty in the U.S. armed forces, serving in the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve, or who previously served on active duty or in the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve (who were not dishonorably discharged), whether they are living or deceased, and enlistees in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) will submit Form G-325A as part of their request. For non-military deferred action requests, individuals who are noncitizens who are unlawfully present in the United States who seek to remain in the United Stated will submit Form G-325A as part of their request.
